You know how Xbox has interactive advertisements? If not, well, they do. And they can be pretty cool, too. This “ad demo” is a simulation of an Xbox interactive ad built in Silverlight. Since a Microsoft salesperson can’t run around town selling ads with an actual Xbox unit, this solution allowed them to use their laptop instead. These ads were designed by someone else. We took video screenshots of the live Xbox ads and recreated them in Silverlight. This work was done while working at Metia as the Senior Interactive Designer.
